Handy Parent Guide
Pros: Detailed, Educational
Cons: A little confusing
Best Uses: Education
Describe Yourself: Parent
I have found this book quite helpful and full of useful ideas to help my son learn Chinese with the My First Chinese Words set. For each of the 36 books, you get the vocabulary list, sentences taught, teaching objectives, songs & rhymes, craft activities, games, references to the corresponding activities in the exercise book that you can buy as an extra, references to online activities, and homework.
To do some of the activities and work, you do need to purchase extra items such as the 'Sing With Better Chinese' CD set, 'My First Chinese Exercises' books, and subscribe to the online learning.
The parts of the book that are in Chinese are also in traditional Chinese which is a bit of a pain if you are using the standard Chinese set of books like I am. Some parts are confusing because they reference specific products or songs/activities that I don't know how to find. Despite this, I am still very happy with the book because the rest of it is very useful and has given me some great, practical ideas that I can use at home or with a class.
